Privacy Policy

This policy explains how The Cortex Advisory ("Cortex Advisory", "we", "us") handles personal information collected through cortexadvisory.in. We process personal data in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

What we collect

• Information you give us. When you use our forms, we collect the details you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number, organisation, city, designation, interests and message. Membership applications are made through Google Forms, where Google's own privacy policy also applies.
• Technical information. Our hosting provider records basic technical data, such as your IP address and browser type, to keep the website secure and to prevent spam.
• Analytics. If analytics are enabled, we use Google Analytics to understand how the website is used. This relies on cookies, which you can block in your browser settings.

How we use it

• To reply to your enquiry and prepare proposals you have asked for.
• To process requests to join our professional network.
• To keep the website secure, working well and free of spam.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for unrelated marketing.

Who we share it with

We share information only with the service providers that help us run this website: our hosting provider (Vercel), our email delivery provider (Resend) and, if enabled, Google Analytics. They process data on our behalf and only for these purposes.

Our member directory

The network page lists the names and cities of our executive members. We publish no other personal details. Members can ask us to update or remove their listing at any time.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry and application details only for as long as we need them to respond to you and to maintain our working relationship, and then delete them.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or withdraw your consent to its use. To make a request or raise a concern, email thecortexadvisory@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.

Children

This website is intended for adults. Schools and colleges enquire on behalf of their students; we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

Important

Cortex Advisory is not an emergency service. Please don't use our forms to share urgent health concerns. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call Tele-MANAS on 14416 (free, 24×7) or contact your nearest emergency service.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
